Okay so I
have to post about
these gloves. Gardening is one of my hobbies (which I am still learning at) so I have purchased quite a few pairs of work gloves over the past few years. Well, ones I have gotten never seem to live up to my expectations. If I go cheap they are too thin and water goes right through them. I have had the thicker kind but I had difficulty feeling smaller items like weeds and maneuvering my fingers correctly. I also don't want to spend a fortune because they're work gloves and get beat up. Well my DH works in construction and is always using these gloves for work. They're great for moving wood or furniture etc...So I borrowed them once and LOVED them. They have a rubber coating on the bottom part of the hand and the top of the hand is a breathable material. You can feel your fingers well enough to weed but they are tough enough where you wouldn't feel thorns from a pruned rose bush. I use them for cleaning up branches or picking up leaves and a ton of other things.They aren't the most glamorous but for 3.99 at Lowes or The Home Depot you really can't beat them! And if you lose them they are cheap to replace! What do you use? Do you use these?
Thanks for the recommendation. I need new work gloves. I've just started planting again in the garden. It seems like I can't keep a pair from one year to the next. I'm not sure how I lose them. I think it's kind of like socks.
ReplyDeleteJust be careful, because my hubby steals mine all the time since they're not girly...lol...and I know what you mean. I have quite a few mismatched gloves too. :) Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteDropping in and saying hi from SITS. How fun ! I love all things crafty - including gardening, except that my garden consists of one little pot of herbs & scallions in NYC.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica, Found your blog from the SITS girls Spring Fling. I use work gloves as well when I do my little bit of gardening. I don't get as much pleasure out of it as other people do but I do like the end results. Just one pair of gloves though. :)
ReplyDeleteFound you through SITS Saturday Share. Thank you for this post. Great to know about these gloves - lots of people in my family garden so I'll definitely be telling them. Have a great weekend :-)
